breaking the 4th wall is almost always shit, unless it's done with secrets like in Serious Sam or whatever

what aboutUndertale
CRASHING YOUR SAVE FILES
WITH NO SURVIVORS
Didn't a Zelda game do this?
>developers assume you're an unfit virgin who is socially inept
why do they do this? it's so cringe. I'm in post-grad , I have friends, and I do freelance work like copyrighting and press releases.

>>345336331
>breaking the 4th wall as a plot
That one game that ended up with the boss fight being motion actors fighting in front of a green screen.
HUR DUR WE WERE MAKING A VIDEOGAME TO HELP A DEVELOPER HONOR HIS DEAD BEST FRIEND THE WHOLE TIME

>Durandal couldn't escape because he's a videogame character, doomed to do only what he is written to do and die when the series ends
>only you, as a player, can step outside of the pattern and manipulate it to your will
>when the game ends, you escape unto other things, accomplishing what Durandal never could
I never realized how meta that shit was.
Deepest lore.

Theyre making the assumption you get butthurt easily. They were right.

Elder Scrolls is the best at this, especially Morrowind.

i'm suddenly interested in that game

Eh it's not that great
Some characters retain information over saves and will "remember" you killing certain characters/doing things over and over
The last boss of the first end is an ebin creepypasta meme and forcibly closes your screen, saves/loads states and """overwrites""" your save file so you can't load before (but it also checkpoints you throughout the fight, making an already easy boss even easier and more pointless). The final boss of genocide run and pacifist run break the 4th wall a bunch to talk about how YOU THE PLAYER are a good person/bad person and how they are real and not code or whatever
The 4th wall breaking in that game is really overrated desu, save for pic related
>>345338374
WHY
>crashing your save files
How do you crash a save file? It's more of crashing the game, Anon.

i bet 12 year old me would have LOVED that part. It made the games feel more real to me.

Does that really count? Most tutorials break the fourth wall just because they have to. Pathologic just gets a little more poetic with it.
>voiced character dialog actively suggesting you press buttons on your controller
animal crossing does this a lot, it almost ruins the immersion
>>345336113
4th Wall breaks are only good when they are subtle. If they start using it to deconstruct the game it begins walking a very fine line of having it be enjoyable or just come off as really pretentious.
Metal Gear Solid 2 is the only game I can think which did a major 4th wall break.
>>345336113
MGS2 is literally the only game that does this.

>Dat blue screen.
Has there ever been a videogame that ended with another character turning out to be the protagonist of their own videogame, who then leaves and shuts the game down?I just watched that episode of TNG where the crew get stuck in that detective story on the holodeck and it made me think
>>345336556
Undertale was trash in that regard. There were some very nice subtleties, like Flowey reprimanding you for restarting if you kill Toriel your first time around, but by the end of it they were so common they became predictable, like Deadpool.

>>345345102
Marvel Vs. Capcom 3's Deadpool ending involved a news report that said Deadpool blew a bunch of shit up, and blamed it on his accomplice "The Player", making you officially wanted in a fictional universe.
